Bowen, Theodore, one of the principal farmers of Lake township, settled there in 1861, buying 
 eighty acres of land. The subject of this sketch was born December 17, 1838, in Onondaga county, 
 New York. His parents' names were Isaac and Lucy Bowen. His youth was spent on the farm and at 
 the common schools. After arriving at maturity he was wedded to Augusta Monroe, of Oswego 
 county, New York, and they have two children: Isidore, now Mrs. C. T. Webster, of this township, 
 and Estella. In September, 1864, Mr. Bowen enlisted in the 184th regt., N. Y. Vols., and served till the 
 close of the war. In 1871 he was elected town treasurer, which office he held for nine years 
 consecutively, and has also been treasurer and director of school district No. 6 several terms. While 
 the Baptist church represents his religious views, his wife is a Methodist in belief.
